Ezequiel 9
Sainte Bible libre pour le monde
1Puis il cria d'une voix forte à mes oreilles : « Faites approcher ceux qui ont la charge de la ville, chacun avec son arme de destruction à la main. »
2Voici que six hommes arrivèrent par le chemin de la porte supérieure, qui est tournée vers le nord, chacun avec son arme meurtrière à la main. Au milieu d'eux se trouvait un homme vêtu de lin, qui portait une écritoire à la ceinture. Ils entrèrent et se placèrent près de l'autel de bronze.
3La gloire du Dieu d'Israël s'éleva de dessus le chérubin sur lequel elle reposait, pour se diriger vers le seuil de la maison ; et il appela l'homme vêtu de lin, qui portait l'écritoire à la ceinture.
4Le SEIGNEUR lui dit : « Passe au milieu de la ville, au milieu de Jérusalem, et trace une marque sur le front des hommes qui gémissent et se lamentent à cause de toutes les abominations qui s'y commettent. »
5Aux autres, il dit en ma présence : « Parcourez la ville derrière lui et frappez. Que votre œil soit sans pitié, et n'ayez aucune compassion.
6Tuez et exterminez les vieillards, les jeunes gens, les vierges, les petits enfants et les femmes ; mais ne vous approchez de personne sur qui se trouve la marque. Commencez par mon sanctuaire. » Ils commencèrent par les anciens qui se trouvaient devant la maison.
7Il leur dit : « Profanez la maison, et remplissez les parvis de cadavres. Sortez ! » Ils sortirent, et frappèrent dans la ville.
8Pendant qu'ils frappaient et que je restais seul, je tombai le visage contre terre et je m'écriai : « Ah, Seigneur DIEU ! Vas-tu détruire tout le reste d'Israël en déversant ta fureur sur Jérusalem ? »
9Alors il me dit : « L'iniquité de la maison d'Israël et de Juda est immense ; le pays est rempli de sang, et la ville est pleine de perversion. Car ils disent : “Le SEIGNEUR a abandonné le pays, et le SEIGNEUR ne voit rien.”
10Quant à moi, mon œil sera sans pitié, et je n'aurai aucune compassion ; je ferai retomber leur conduite sur leur tête. »
11Voici, l'homme vêtu de lin, qui portait l'écritoire à la ceinture, vint faire son rapport : « J'ai fait ce que tu m'as ordonné. »
Reina-Valera 1909
1Y CLAMÓ en mis oídos con gran voz, diciendo: Los visitadores de la ciudad han llegado, y cada uno trae en su mano su instrumento para destruir.
2Y he aquí que seis varones venían del camino de la puerta de arriba que está vuelta al aquilón, y cada uno traía en su mano su instrumento para destruir. Y entre ellos había un varón vestido de lienzos, el cual traía á su cintura una escribanía de escribano; y entrados, paráronse junto al altar de bronce.
3Y la gloria del Dios de Israel se alzó de sobre el querubín sobre el cual había estado, al umbral de la casa: y llamó Jehová al varón vestido de lienzos, que tenía á su cintura la escribanía de escribano.
4Y díjole Jehová: Pasa por medio de la ciudad, por medio de Jerusalem, y pon una señal en la frente á los hombres que gimen y que claman á causa de todas las abominaciones que se hacen en medio de ella.
5Y á los otros dijo á mis oídos: Pasad por la ciudad en pos de él, y herid; no perdone vuestro ojo, ni tengáis misericordia.
6Matad viejos, mozos y vírgenes, niños y mujeres, hasta que no quede ninguno: mas á todo aquel sobre el cual hubiere señal, no llegaréis; y habéis de comenzar desde mi santuario. Comenzaron pues desde los varones ancianos que estaban delante del templo.
7Y díjoles: Contaminad la casa, y henchid los atrios de muertos: salid. Y salieron, é hirieron en la ciudad.
8Y aconteció que, habiéndolos herido, yo quedé y postréme sobre mi rostro, y clamé, y dije: ¡Ah, Señor Jehová! ¿has de destruir todo el resto de Israel derramando tu furor sobre Jerusalem?
9Y díjome: La maldad de la casa de Israel y de Judá es grande sobremanera, pues la tierra está llena de sangres, y la ciudad está llena de perversidad: porque han dicho: Dejado ha Jehová la tierra, y Jehová no ve.
10Así pues, yo, mi ojo no perdonará, ni tendré misericordia: el camino de ellos tornaré sobre su cabeza.
11Y he aquí que el varón vestido de lienzos, que tenía la escribanía á su cintura, respondió una palabra diciendo: Hecho he conforme á todo lo que me mandaste.
King James Version
1He cried also in mine ears with a loud voice, saying, Cause them that have charge over the city to draw near, even every man with his destroying weapon in his hand.
2And, behold, six men came from the way of the higher gate, which lieth toward the north, and every man a slaughter weapon in his hand; and one man among them was clothed with linen, with a writer’s inkhorn by his side: and they went in, and stood beside the brasen altar.
3And the glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the cherub, whereupon he was, to the threshold of the house. And he called to the man clothed with linen, which had the writer’s inkhorn by his side;
4And the LORD said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.
5And to the others he said in mine hearing, Go ye after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity:
6Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom is the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which were before the house.
7And he said unto them, Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain: go ye forth. And they went forth, and slew in the city.
8And it came to pass, while they were slaying them, and I was left, that I fell upon my face, and cried, and said, Ah Lord GOD! wilt thou destroy all the residue of Israel in thy pouring out of thy fury upon Jerusalem?
9Then said he unto me, The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceeding great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full of perverseness: for they say, The LORD hath forsaken the earth, and the LORD seeth not.
10And as for me also, mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity, but I will recompense their way upon their head.
11And, behold, the man clothed with linen, which had the inkhorn by his side, reported the matter, saying, I have done as thou hast commanded me.

1Then he cried in my ears with a loud voice, saying, “Cause those who are in charge of the city to draw near, each man with his destroying weapon in his hand.”
2Behold, six men came from the way of the upper gate, which lies toward the north, every man with his slaughter weapon in his hand. One man in the middle of them was clothed in linen, with a writer’s inkhorn by his side. They went in, and stood beside the bronze altar.
3The glory of the God of Israel went up from the cherub, whereupon it was, to the threshold of the house; and he called to the man clothed in linen, who had the writer’s inkhorn by his side.
4The LORD said to him, “Go through the middle of the city, through the middle of Jerusalem, and set a mark on the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry over all the abominations that are done within it.”
5To the others he said in my hearing, “Go through the city after him, and strike. Don’t let your eye spare, neither have pity.
6Kill utterly the old man, the young man, the virgin, little children and women; but don’t come near any man on whom is the mark. Begin at my sanctuary.” Then they began at the old men who were before the house.
7He said to them, “Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain. Go out!” They went out, and struck in the city.
8While they were killing, and I was left, I fell on my face, and cried, and said, “Ah Lord GOD! Will you destroy all the residue of Israel in your pouring out of your wrath on Jerusalem?”
9Then he said to me, “The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceedingly great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full of perversion; for they say, ‘The LORD has forsaken the land, and the LORD doesn’t see.’
10As for me also, my eye won’t spare, neither will I have pity, but I will bring their way on their head.”
11Behold, the man clothed in linen, who had the inkhorn by his side, reported the matter, saying, “I have done as you have commanded me.”
